Revolution Saints – Album Review.Our take on the self-titled album.

Revolution Saints – Album Review. You have hopefully been reading about Revolution Saints on our website (so we won’t introduce this supergroup here) and have seen a few of their teaser videos – now it’s time to review the whole enchilada!

Notice this:
Update 2/20/2015: The Revolution Saints album is out now in Europe!

This 12-track offering (you can have some bonus tracks if ordering the deluxe version) starts out with the rocker “Back On My Trail” and sets the mood perfectly. Great guitar, great vocals, superb production, just all the right ingredients to make you crave for more. Followed by the first released track (video here) “Turn Back Time” and “You’re Not Alone” (with Arnel Pineda on co-lead vocals) you might think this can not get any better – but it does!

It is hard to pick any standout tracks on this album, but if we’d have to pick a favorite it would be “Here Forever” with its beautiful piano/vocal intro, the excellent guitars and goosebumps-inducing harmonies. Did we mention Neal Schon playing the solo on “Way To The Sun”? Sweet!

[tweet_dis]If you like hard rock (or some would say this is AOR), then this album is a must buy.[/tweet_dis] It can hardly get better than this – all the good stuff we love about good rock music put into a 2015 package. This get’s it 5 out of 5 stars from us.

Summary

2015 is still young and we already have a strong "Album Of The Year" contender. Revolution Saints have not raised the bar for melodic hard rock with this album - they created the bar. A standard all upcoming rock releases will have to live up to - this release is AOR / Hard Rock on steroids! Our only gripe is...why aren't there 50 songs on this album?
